June 28, 2008, 1720pm. Hi Himy, I'm euges429. I own and operate Rethink Toronto, ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
http://www.rethinkto.com, a travel guide to Toronto, Canada. I would like to suggest some sort of partnership between our two sites. Since this comment box is public, I've not listed my real name, but please contact me at welcome@rethinkto.com. I look forward to working with you to get other people interested and passionate (if not just more informed) about our hometown! Best, euges429. (You may delete this after you read this.) —euges429
euges429, one of our community norms is that people use their real names. I also see that you went and started your own wiki. So I don't know exactly what it is you have in mind? I believe you asked to use a photo or two of mine on your rethink toronto website, which as I recall I agreed to. Perhaps if it ain't too much of me to ask you register with your real name and then ask what it is you have in mind, I'll ask you to do that. —HimySyed
2007-06-08 15:22:55 Hi HiMY. Great site! My site is myhood.ca (http://www.myhood.ca) - a new Toronto apartment rental and review site. We have quite a bit of info. on neighbourhoods and general renting info. that I could probably add to the neighbourhoods section and the Rental Housing Guide. I was wondering if inputting links to my site in certain relevant sections (i.e. in the Housing and Accomodation section of each neighbourhood or in the Rental Housing Guide) was legit. The links would be relevant but they are for a commercial site. It wasn't clear in the FAQ so I thought I'd ask. Please let me know - thanks! Jeff (staff@myhood.ca) —JeffH
2007-06-14 15:34:04 JeffH, I've been surfing myhood.ca for a while now to get the feel for what you're doing. I'd say just go ahead and use your best judgement when linking to pages within your site. If it's overtly objectionable, someone within the wiki community here will simply edit it :-). When in doubt, leave a good page edit comment as to why you're linking your edits to pages offsite. JeffH, thanks for joining our wiki community and we certainly need your help in building up the Rental Housing Guide page. —HimySyed
2007-06-18 22:22:16 Hey Himy, have you looked into an alternative background logo for the wiki? The current one isn't big enough and because of its photographic-y nature it's hard to make it match up. I'm starting up a 
help making a logo page because I think others usually like to help out with this kind of stuff! Best, —PhilipNeustrom
2007-06-29 12:39:56 Himy, i'm a wiki developer/facilitator interested in learning more about the project and about combining efforts to build wiki communities. Send me an email and lets arrange a chat. mlpilling —mlpilling
Welcome to Torontopedia mlpilling, leave your email here or on your user page. You can learn about the wiki here in the meantime. As you're familiar with wikis already, please jump right in and add pages which you'd like to see. —HimySyed
2007-07-11 09:22:52 Himy, I read about Torontopedia in the National Post. Your name was familiar but I couldn't place you. Did you run a tennis racquet stringing business in the early 90's? —AndreWright
Welcome to the Wiki Andre. Not exactly, I was born in Wimbledon and tennis has always been associated with me. Think back to about 1987 and how you were, ahem, discovering telephony technology and you should be able to better place me.
2007-07-15 07:55:39 I can't remember the details but did you run a bulletin board on PunterNet? Mine was node 36, I believe... —AndreWright
2007-08-13 20:22:22 Hey Himy, not sure if you've been chatting with Rosanna, but hopefully you've seen her logo sketch on the Help making a logo page. —PhilipNeustrom
Thanks Philip, just fell behind in updates, we now have a Wiki Community/Logo page up with Rosanna's Logo contributions. —HimySyed
2007-08-27 12:34:31 Hello HiMY! Is there any way to change a Wiki user's "real name" other than re-registering with a new e-mail address? Please say yes! —rhs
Happy Monday rhs! The short answer is...not at the moment. You would indeed hafta create a new UserName, (preferably your RealName :). Taking your question into account, I've suggested how to go about at the bottom of the Importance of using your RealName page. Hope that clarifies and answers your question. —HimySyed
2007-09-10 15:04:39 Hi Himy! I'm a local reporter with the Town Crier newspaper. I've been navigating around this site all day. I'm wondering if you and/or Karen are available for a phone interview and picture sometime tomorrow or Wednesday, as I'd like to write an article about torontopedia for our Bloor Bay edition. I can be reached at <kcoorsh AT towncrieronline DOT ca>. Thanks! —KarolynCoorsh
Karolyn, Welcome to the Wiki. I've just sent you an email with our contact info. Looking forward to speaking with you in the next day or so. —HimySyed
2007-10-05 06:32:01 Hi You once asked wikispot how to deal with multilingual pages: have you got a solution ? I'm having the same problem
Best

2007-10-10 14:50:20 Wow — awesome logo today! —PhilipNeustrom
Thanks Philip. It's Provincial Election Day here in Ontario. I hadn't had the time to profile each and every candidate and party and provincial riding like I had intended to...but at least we have a okay themed logo for the day. —HimySyed
2007-10-14 23:46:34 Hi Himy - It's Mike. I added colour to the recurrent events page. Similar to this website : http://toronto.eclectichub.info/ —MikeK.
2007-11-01 12:35:43 EVENT THAT MAY INTEREST YOU (3rd annual Usury Free Week) : http://www.conspiracyculture.com/events_usuryfreeweek.html http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5493608908&ref=share http://www.serenityglobal.com/ThirdAnnualUsuryFreeWeek.pdf —MikeK.
Thanks for the event information Mike, are you attending UsuryFree Day? —HimySyed
2007-11-05 15:21:11 Working on promoting the site. http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=001990&p=
+ going to msg out Fun Toronto facebook group (appox 2000 people)
+ will think of other ways to promote ... we'll surpass Davis & Rochester yet! :D —MikeK.
2007-11-05 15:21:48 Yes I am attending the workshop next Tuesday —MikeK.
2007-11-07 17:19:17 A few new people since yesterday. I redid the "explore" page ... though still needs some work to categorize things (mainly About Toronto and City Life) —MikeK.
2007-11-10 06:43:44 Wow! 1400 pages and counting!!! —AmirSyed
2007-11-18 23:25:35 Himy M.I.A.? —MikeK.
2007-11-18 23:43:32 Hi Himy, the front page looks a little disjointed, I think it needs to be streamlined —AmirSyed
2007-11-28 16:06:24 Howdy, Himy... I reverted a news article MikeK. added as a comment to your entry (the copyright notice saying not to copy it was right at the bottom). It's still in the entry history if you want to read it or use the admin magic revert button to clean it from the wiki. Your call, of course... just trying to help keep the wiki content free and legitimately Creative Commons. (And no offense to MikeK. intended either, it's just a simple copyright issue). —JabberWokky
2007-12-05 01:51:33 What company do you use to (1) Host your various websites, (2) Register and renew your domain names (Godaddy?) Thx —MikeK.
2008-01-16 15:17:26 Hi HiMY - I am looking thru torontopedia for the first time & am impressed. But I have a Q. I have info on a TV series that is featuring good old TO & I want to send you the info in case you want to post/review it for your members - how do I send you info direct ? Corey (corey@vkpr.ca) —CoreyHenry
2008-04-01 16:24:13 I saw you on an episode of Kenny V.S. Spenny. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=2848075952111115424&q=kenny+spenny&total=560&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2 —MikeK.
Come on out to the Regenesis Launch Party tomorrow. Thursday, June 5th, 2008 at the BLVD Room (81 Peter St. @ Adelaide). We start at 7pm. Our guest speaker is Frank De Jong. We have a salsa band, a date auction, a fashion show, etc. Come take photos!!!
2008-06-28 22:31:04 Hi HiMy. My real name is EugeneChan. What is your flickr ID? I have asked a few people on flickr, and am not sure who you are exactly on the website! :) Regarding the wiki that I created, yeah I created that, but I wasn't sure how to set it up, so I've pretty much abandoned it. It won't be a competitor to your Torontopedia.ca in any way, rest assured. Anyway, I would feel it best for us to discuss a possible arrangement between our two sites through e-mail. Please, again, e-mail me at welcome@rethinkto.com. This discussion should not be out in the public. Just to describe briefly, I would like to "use" Torontopedia.ca as the 'official' wiki for my site. Nothing extravagant, I would link to your article, say, on Casa Loma, from my Casa Loma site. Nothing fancy, and all I ask is for you to do the same, from your site (wiki page) to mine. Again, let's talk through e-mail. It is utterly inappropriate to post a (semi-)business discussion here in the open. -EugeneChan —euges429
2008-06-28 22:33:03 How can I change my username on Torontopedia.ca? I'm still a newbie to your site. Thanks. —euges429
2008-07-02 21:17:27 Hello HiMY, I run the wiki Melpedia (http://www.melpedia.com.au) the open directory of Melbourne. I'm currently in Toronto for the next couple of weeks evaluating the possibility of starting a Toronto version of the site within the next few months. Are you available some time over the next week and a half to get together over a coffee? Thanks, Samuel —SamuelRichardson
2008-07-23 14:25:23 Can you delete the PhilipNeustrom redirect that's here? (I'd do it myself, but page deleting is disabled for non-admins) —PhilipNeustrom
